Reddimage-A touch friendly reddit image browser for Windows 8

*Reddimage* is a photo browser for the popular message board, reddit. If you
browse reddit only for the pictures, Reddimage will give you a *touch
friendly experience*. Quickly vote on images or view their comment threads.
The *entire interface is based on the Windows Modern UI*, featuring huge
thumbnails of photos. Tapping on one will show a translucent bar at the
bottom with the name of the user who submitted the photo and its caption.
While it's great that Reddimage built in features for *voting and
commenting*, they are all half baked. For example, if there is a link inside
the comments thread, you can't click on them. You can *reply to comments* if
you log in with your reddit account. Reddimage's quirks continue when you tap
on a photo to make it full screen. *It will crop the image into a square,
stopping you from viewing the entire image*. Images are also low quality,
when compared viewing them on the site. Reddimage's images are pixelated
while the photos look fine on the web. There is no reason Reddimage has to
compress images. *Overall, Reddimage is a mediocre image browser, especially
compared to apps like Fresh Pictures that do it better.*Download *Reddimage*
